Nose Piercing
okay so i pierced my nose at home using an earring stud. i left it in for 12 hours, but hated it bc it was so big. so i went out and bought little plastic studs.
i was reading up on nosepiercings and all the sites say you need titanium, or something hypoallergenic. so instead of a metal i have a plastic in my nose.. is that dangerous, or does it not make any difference/make it better.

I had a plastic retainer in my lip piercing from the day I pierced it. But I'm sure a nose heals differently.
My lip piercing took a LONG time to heal because of the plastic retainer and not having proper jewlery in (And from taking it in and out so much to hide from my parents).
Try to go find a suitable jewelry. I mean, after all, it is a nose piercing which is very visible and you don't want it to look like crap at the end, right?
good luck!

Having plastic in a healing piercing is a bad idea because they can interact with the skin surfaces, not to mention the chemicals the studs are made with can cause problems. Plastics can also crack and aren't really recommended for long time use.
Coming from someone who's had theirs done 3 times, titanium is your best bet. :)
Also, steer clear of silver whilst it's healing as it can make the hole look black and generally not very nice!
